I&#39;m still trying to drum up the courage to paint something but my family keep vetoing it - even the little sewing table bought at a car boot sale, for the princely sum of £2, specifically to paint apparently looks so nice as oak!

I spent an entire summer a couple of years ago painting 6 dining room chairs with 3 coats each and then 2 or 3 of wax - and they&#39;re all chipped and tatty looking now. probably okay for non-functional furniture (whatever that is). You have inspired me to do things properly for the wardrobe I keep meaning to paint, no short-cuts this time! By the way, I&#39;ve never commented before but have been reading your blog for years and love it xxBridgetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1006976038632583270.post-13532917836655318312017-07-14T10:03:22.540+01:002017-07-14T10:03:22.540+01:00Lovely Gillian &amp; I keep thinking about our old...Lovely Gillian &amp; I keep thinking about our old table &amp; chairs, which need a good makeover, but I&#39;m procrastinating.
